| Article Title :: Jesus Of Nazareth (Movie Review) |
| |
| Since Thomas Edison's invention of the modern cinema, countless filmmakers have endeavored to produce a moving picture that accurately chronicles the life and times of Jesus of Nazareth. Aside from Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, which chronicled only a part of the life and crucifixion of Jesus, Franco Zeffirelli's Jesus of Nazareth is the greatest of all. Originally aired as a television mini-series (it's over six hours in length), the film closely adheres to the word-for-word accounts found in the Gospels.The story begins with Joseph (Yorgo Voyagis) and Mary's (Olivia Hussey) reception of God's angels. Each is told of the child that Mary will bear and what his name will b (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Jerk (Movie Review) |
| |
| One of Steve Martin's funniest films, The Jerk was far ahead of its time, part of a genre of off-the-wall, ridiculous comedies that would later dominate the box office throughout the 1990s. Films such as The Waterboy, Dumber And Dumber, and Zoolander have since taken the idea of an outlandish, exaggerated character and turned him into the star of a comic screenplay. In The Jerk, as in the aforementioned films, unfortunate events happen to the outcast reject, and the audience laughs. It's merely an extension of the old Charlie Chaplin or Three Stooges genre of film. But The Jerk is definitely a funny movie…A bona fide idiot, Navin Johnson (Steve Martin) is nevertheless a kind and (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Incredibles (Movie Review) |

| Article Title :: Identity (Movie Review) |
| |
| Starring John Cusack and Ray Liotta, Identity is a film which opened to little of the commercial fanfare associated with a typical blockbuster movie. But this is a film that packs all of the suspense and entertainment value of The Sixth Sense into an original screenplay about a serial killer on the loose. Haunting in its presentation, yet far from a traditional horror film, Identity follows the exploits of ten strangers who become stranded at a Nevada hotel in the midst of a massive rainstorm. One-by-one, they are being killed off, but no one knows the true identity of the killer…A number of seemingly unrelated people gather at a small roadside motel in a Nevada desert location.

| Article Title :: I Claudius (DVD) Review |
| |
| Think history is boring? Think again! I Claudius is proof that an educational film can also be one of the most popular and entertaining series ever produced.

| Article Title :: The Hunt For Red October (Movie Review) |
| |
| Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin star in The Hunt For Red October, a brilliantly conceived storyline drawn from the pages of military thriller and superstar writer Tom Clancy's first novel. Blessed with a cutting-edge plot and dripping with suspense, The Hunt For Red October is one of the best Soviet/US spy films ever produced (and right on the cusp of the Cold War's end). Perhaps the Soviet Union's collapse was hurried along by its fear of a civilian populace that could write stories so close to reality. After all, if a US civilian could estimate the capabilities of the new Soviet submarines, what had their government uncovered? Regardless of its real life implications, The Hunt For Red Oct (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Singing Hobbits, Wizards, and Orcs - Oh My! |

examination answer-book: “In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.” Sixty some-odd years and several volumes later, Middle Earth is one of the most well-known and beloved fantasy worlds.Last year, 2005, marked the 50th anniversary of the complete publication of J.R.R.
Tolkien’s masterpiece. The Lord of the Rings, a multi-volume epic that
followed The Hobbit, was first published in London in 1954, with an
American edition following in 1955. This tale of unlikely heroes has been made into
